A recent article that appeared in the NZ Farmer shared an overseas study that supposedly found traces of insecticides in New Zealand honey.
Waikato-based leading M?nuka Honey producers SummerGlow Apiaries are puzzled by the claim and lack of evidence provided in the study.

The delicious light golden honey with the unique herbal manuka flavour is a New Zealand favourite. However, it is up to the seller to prove to the customer the purity of the product and this is where SummerGlow Apiaries are committed to their customers.

SummerGlow Apiaries of Te Kowhai, Waikato, is applauding new scientific research by the Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association (UMFHA).
The Manuka ID Project, undertaken by the UMFHA, has established a system to identify genuine, unadulterated Manuka honey, by testing for compounds found exclusively in Manuka Honey.

2016 sees Summer Glow Apiaries celebrate two very significant anniversaries for founder Bill Bennett. Not only is it his 70th birthday, but this year sees the team celebrate 40 years of Bill’s full-time service to the beekeeping industry.

Waikato based SummerGlow Apiaries is backing a unique and important opportunity for the Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association (UMFHA) to showcase their world leading science.
The UMF Honey Association has accepted an invite to present facts and information of its important and ground breaking Manuka ID science programme at the China Bee Products Industry Conference 2016.

Consumers can rest assured of the purity, quality and authenticity of SummerGlow products.
"The only honey in SummerGlow jars is pure honey from our own hives, harvested and extracted by our beekeepers on our own premises. Nothing is added. We have total control over the honey and what happens to it from when it is first foraged for by our bees until it is in our customers’ hands."

Leading scientists have recently completed an extensive four-year research programme to identify the key chemical markers of Manuka Honey and leading Manuka Honey producers, Waikato-based SummerGlow Apiaries, couldn’t be more pleased with the results.

There is such a wide expanse of nutritional supplements available for use to athletes around the world. Companies are now able to compact energy into tiny packets with varying amounts of processing involved. But could it be possible that one of the best forms of nutritional goodness for cyclists still comes in a very natural, very undisturbed form?

Unification has been one of the major topics at last week’s annual Conference of the National Beekeepers Association and Federated Farmers Bee Industry Group held at Wairakei, attend by Waikato based Manuka Honey producers SummerGlow Apiaries.
